GeoTrust Launches Web Site Anti-Malware Scan Exclusively
Through Channel
Few things can kill trust for a web
site faster than visitors discovering that the site infected
them with hidden malware. To help reduce this risk, GeoTrust
today introduced its Web Site Anti-Malware Scan, a cost
effective cloud service that quickly identifies malware to
protect web site visitors and owners alike available
exclusively through Channel Partners.
Every day, many web
sites get hacked and malware is embedded or web site owners
mistakenly install programs that turn out to be malware.
Hackers exploiting web site vulnerabilities using injection,
cross-site scripting, broken authentication or session
management and other prevalent attacks unknown to the site
owner are the prime methods malware is spread on the
internet today. For customers, GeoTrust Web Site
Anti-Malware Scan automatically checks up to 50 web pages
daily for both well-known and brand new malware strains. The
service provides immediate, detailed alerts that clearly
pinpoint malware infections and enable web site owners to
eliminate them quickly and easily, helping ensure infected
sites are cleaned up as soon as possible.
By quickly
identifying malware on infected sites, Geo Trust Web Site
Anti-Malware Scan provides web site owners key benefits,
including:
• Fewer site visitors exposed to
malware
• Increased search results by reducing chances
of search engine crawlers identifying the site as malicious
• Lower likelihood of blacklisting, public exposure
and negative publicity as a hacked site.
GeoTrust Web Site
Anti-Malware Scan can also save web site owners considerable
expenses related to malware infections, from improving IT
security to notifying customers and regaining lost business.
In addition, owners can present the GeoTrust Web Site
Anti-Malware Seal on their web site indicating a malware
free web site. This trust mark assures customers that
GeoTrust – the number 1 brand of Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) Certificates for the top 1 million most-visited
domains on the web – has scanned the site for malicious
code.
Domain and hosted service providers as well as
security resellers can easily add GeoTrust Web Site
Anti-Malware Scan to their service packages by joining
Symantec’s partner programme which offers great benefits
and support to channel partners. The service is compatible
with all major SSL and other IT security products and
services.
